From trash to eggs

Some weeks ago I saw chicken in a garden on TV. I did a little research and wanted to try keeping my own chicken. I decided for a race and suddenly got a chance to get four of them. So I had to hurry on building my first attempt on a chicken coop. That’s how trash (old particle boards and some other materials I already had) turned into eggs. It’s only a temporary solution and I am planing to build a better coop from solid wood. But the chickens like this one too and every afternoon they can’t wait to come back from their mobile run to the coop.

It is. I wonder, why I didn’t think much earlier about keeping my own chickens. The eggs taste much better, knowing they don’t have to “live” on a poststamp, like most other chickens in the industry do. Their run changes its place every two days and for me it is really nice to watch them scratching and picking in a fresh grassy area.
